Default Very keen eyes......

Good observation Hawkeye.......

I was amazed on how different 9:00 x 16 bar thread can be from manufacturer to manufacturer......

Modern bar thread are already at least 2 inches taller than the original 1940 tires....... maybe the old tires shrunked over the years...hahaha..... modern bar threads are different as well.... Currently the rear tires are yard tires I got from the Caldwells.... the front ones are brand new removed from surplus M101a ( M37 trailer) spare tires and are again taller than the older 1970 casings......


I believe the tallest seen so far are the NOS Michelin 9 x16 square block tires..... the surplus 11 x 16 are the most desirable and even larger....but not CMP original...sic..!
